They left him on the ground unrecognizable. Someone would have even spat on his helpless body. My brother died, because he did not agree to be beaten by a drunk at the counter of a bar “. It is in the club that the quarrel about a few too many jokes against his girlfriend starts. The first thrusts begin. The bouncer of the club intervenes and accompanies them outside. Here the victim is surrounded. “Twenty minutes of ferocious aggression, in which a pack of wolves chases a hare that runs away. That he is not defending himself, that he is not responding to the blows but that he is running away. Twenty minutes in which they could stop and they didn’t ”.
